This is our third and final bonus gallery!<\/p>\n

I legitimately missed three photos galleries worth of wheels up drag racing from the Nitro Revival and didn\u2019t even realize it until today. Luckily, Wes pointed out that I had said that we ran all the photos when in fact we did not. Hmmm. Math is hard. At any rate, the good thing is I can show them off for everyone to enjoy now! Check them out below and use the link if you missed any of our previous photos.<\/p>\n

(Photos by Wes Allison) The Nitro Revival at Irwindale is what has been described as a museum of the Golden Age of Drag Racing come to life, and with all these amazing cars on-site there is no doubt that it is all that and much more. We\u2019re talking Fuel Altereds, Front Engine nitro-burning dragsters, Gassers, Funny Cars, and so much more. But it isn\u2019t just about the cars, it\u2019s also about the people who drove them, tuned them, and built them. The number of iconic cars pales only to the number of iconic people that were on site talking to the fans and telling stories from the good old days. This event is rad, plain and simple and Steve Gibbs truly hit a home run when he decided to put this whole event together.<\/p>\n

\u201cNitro Revival brings back the sights and sounds of the early days of hot rodding,\u201d Gibbs enthused, \u201cand it lets fans experience a drag racing museum come to life, not only through the vehicles themselves, but through the presence of many of those who built, maintained and drove those cars at tracks like the original Irwindale Raceway and two San Gabriel Drag Strips.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

For some, the assemblage of nitro powered race cars, such as \u201cPure Hell,\u201d the name of the legendary fuel altered owned by Rich Guasco, the Fitzgerald Family \u201cPure Heaven,\u201d Ron Hope\u2019s \u201cRat Trap,\u201d and Randy Bradfords\u2019s Fiat, will rekindle an image of the golden era of drag racing. Throw in the Hough family\u2019s \u201cNanook,\u201d the \u201cWinged Express\u201d made famous by the late Willie Borsch and Troy Glenn\u2019s \u201cOver the Hill Gang\u201d entry, and you might believe you\u2019re back in the \u201860s.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
